Another example just happened here: https://gnunet.org/bot/log/guix/2017-04-13#T1353026. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- I'm trying to build guix from git. I use 'guix environment guix', and get 'configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check'. Anything else I need? I'm trying to follow https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Building-from-Git.html --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- To be clear, it seems that there are different bugs, with one solution (--container). That's why I talk about it in this thread.
